The pre-main event fight was between two fighters of the women’s bantamweight division, Holly Holm and Raquel Pennington. The fight went all three rounds, with Holly Holm being the winner by decision.
Holm was in full control of the fight throughout the first round, and by the second round, both fighters seemed winded. Holly managed to stay on top throughout the fight and won her 13th fight in the UFC.
The main event fight between the two welterweight superstars, “The Notorious” Conor McGregor and “Cowboy” Donald Cerrone, was breathtaking, to say the least. With McGregor moving out of the lightweight division for the first time, he put on a show.

Conor managed to finish off Cerrone in the first 40 seconds of the fight. Cerrone didn’t land a single punch on McGregor in the seconds he lasted. Conor managed to break his nose by striking him with his shoulder. “I have never seen anything like those strikes,” said Cerrone.

After the fight, Conor hugged Cerrone’s Grandmother and waved his Irish flag in victory.
